ACT IV
|
||
|
|
SCENE I. A room in the castle.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Enter KING CLAUDIUS, QUEEN GERTRUDE, ROSENCRANTZ, and GUILDENSTERN
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
KING CLAUDIUS
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
There's matter in these sighs, these profound heaves:
|
||
|
|
You must translate: 'tis fit we understand them.
|
||
|
|
Where is your son?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
QUEEN GERTRUDE
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Bestow this place on us a little while.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Exeunt ROSENCRANTZ and GUILDENSTERN
|
||
|
|
Ah, my good lord, what have I seen to-night!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
KING CLAUDIUS
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
What, Gertrude? How does Hamlet?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
QUEEN GERTRUDE
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Mad as the sea and wind, when both contend
|
||
|
|
Which is the mightier: in his lawless fit,
|
||
|
|
Behind the arras hearing something stir,
|
||
|
|
Whips out his rapier, cries, 'A rat, a rat!'
|
||
|
|
And, in this brainish apprehension, kills
|
||
|
|
The unseen good old man.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
KING CLAUDIUS
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
O heavy deed!
|
||
|
|
It had been so with us, had we been there:
|
||
|
|
His liberty is full of threats to all;
|
||
|
|
To you yourself, to us, to every one.
|
||
|
|
Alas, how shall this bloody deed be answer'd?
|
||
|
|
It will be laid to us, whose providence
|
||
|
|
Should have kept short, restrain'd and out of haunt,
|
||
|
|
This mad young man: but so much was our love,
|
||
|
|
We would not understand what was most fit;
|
||
|
|
But, like the owner of a foul disease,
|
||
|
|
To keep it from divulging, let it feed
|
||
|
|
Even on the pith of Life. Where is he gone?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
QUEEN GERTRUDE
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To draw apart the body he hath kill'd:
|
||
|
|
O'er whom his very madness, like some ore
|
||
|
|
Among a mineral of metals base,
|
||
|
|
Shows itself pure; he weeps for what is done.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
KING CLAUDIUS
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
O Gertrude, come away!
|
||
|
|
The sun no sooner shall the mountains touch,
|
||
|
|
But we will ship him hence: and this vile deed
|
||
|
|
We must, with all our majesty and skill,
|
||
|
|
Both countenance and excuse. Ho, Guildenstern!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Re-enter ROSENCRANTZ and GUILDENSTERN
|
||
|
|
Friends both, go join you with some further aid:
|
||
|
|
Hamlet in madness hath Polonius slain,
|
||
|
|
And from his mother's closet hath he dragg'd him:
|
||
|
|
Go seek him out; speak fair, and bring the body
|
||
|
|
Into the chapel. I pray you, haste in this.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Exeunt ROSENCRANTZ and GUILDENSTERN
|
||
|
|
Come, Gertrude, we'll call up our wisest friends;
|
||
|
|
And let them know, both what we mean to do,
|
||
|
|
And what's untimely done. O, come away!
|
||
|
|
My soul is full of discord and dismay.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Exeunt
|
